  • Painting Calipers

    My dad is all afraid that the brakes will get ****ed up after painting the calipers, he doesn't want me to do it. But it looks so badass. So i need to know if painting my calipers will effect my brakes or not..hes afraid they will stick. If u have done this and no some answers let me know.

            haha, i would think even if you laid paint all over the brake pad, and all over the rotor, and even sprayed the lines for the hell of it, you would still have no problems. the paint would simply just wear off and be gone.

            now, im not recommending it, but i cant imagine anything bad would happen.

                    Yes it can!

                    If you you paint the calipers using spray paint, you can screw things up, this is why you need to do a very good job masking things off... it's not just for overspray.

                    However if you brush it on you should be fine.

                      what are you going to screw up by spray painting the calipers?

                        At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                        Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
